On December 19, 2024, a sleep supplement called Somato from Nutraland USA, was awarded the Alkemist Assured designation which is a part of the Alkemist Labs’ quality transparency program. According to a press release (1), this award is meant to be a “mark of excellence” and is bestowed upon products that have shown that they’ve met high quality standards during a very rigorous verification process.
“We are thrilled to receive the Alkemist Assured seal for Somato,” said Gene Bruno, CSO of Nutraland USA (1). “Transparency and quality are at the heart of everything we do, and this certification reinforces our dedication to providing our customers with products they can trust. Somato's innovative formula is the first of its kind, and we are excited to bring it to a broader audience with the confidence that it meets the highest industry standards.”
Well known in the nutritional industry for their natural products testing, Alkemist Labs’ “Alkemist Assured” program helps provide credibility to products, this can help consumers with deciding on what items meet their supplement quality standards (1).
“Nutraland USA's decision to bring their Somato™product into the Alkemist Assured program demonstrates their commitment to quality,” said Petra Erlandson, director of sales and marketing, for Alkemist Labs. “We are pleased to have them as our newest partner in quality transparency.”
Nutraland’s sleep supplement contains phytomelatonin which is naturally found in tomatoes, along with compounds such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and Lycopene (1,2). Somato provides consumers with another option to synthetic melatonin and is 100% plant based. In order to receive the Alkemist Assured™ designation, the sleep supplement needed to undergo thorough testing for ingredient authenticity, purity, identity, contaminants, and potency (1). The press release (1) mentioned that the seal from the Alkemist Assured program gives consumers clarification by showing them that the product meets the programs highest standards for transparency and quality, as well as with providing an independent verification highlighting Somato’s origin from tomatoes.
